🎃 THIS HALLOWEEN, DON’T JUST ATTEND THE PARTY. HELP CREATE IT.
What if the games you played, worlds you explored, and surprises you discovered were created by the people celebrating alongside you?
Welcome to BRING IT TO LIFE! — a Halloween Buildathon, Game Lab & Party where imagination becomes reality, strangers become collaborators, and the celebration begins with something we create together.
One Halloween. Five creative pathways. Three acts. Endless possibilities.
🛠️ FIVE WAYS TO BRING IT TO LIFE
🎮 Build a Game — Digital, physical, tabletop, or multiplayer.
🌎 Build a World — 3D environments and immersive experiences.
🎙️ Build with Voice — Interactive characters and voice-powered creations.
🎃 Build the Party — Décor, props, installations, photo moments, and surprises.
🧪 Build an Experiment — Wonderfully weird ideas that defy categories.
Use your favorite AI tools, create something hands-on, or combine both. Bring an idea, join a team, or discover your inspiration when you arrive.
No coding required. No expertise necessary. Just curiosity, creativity, and a willingness to make something happen.
🎃 THREE ACTS. ONE HALLOWEEN EXPERIENCE.
🛠️ ACT I — BUILD THE UNEXPECTED
10 AM–12 PM | Hex & Co — Upper East Side
Meet collaborators, explore ideas, form teams, and bring unexpected creations to life.
Experiment with games, interactive storytelling, imaginative worlds, AI-powered experiences, and hands-on prototypes.
🎮 ACT II — UNLEASH THE GAME LAB
Share what you’ve created, discover what others imagined, and experience new games, characters, worlds, and experiments.
Whether your creation is polished, playful, unfinished, or delightfully strange, this is your opportunity to bring it into the world.
🎉 ACT III — PARTY WITH WHAT YOU BUILT
Separate NYC location | Details coming soon
The building may end at noon, but the Halloween celebration doesn’t have to!
Reconnect with collaborators, celebrate creativity, and continue the fun at our Halloween after-party.
Costumes encouraged. Creative challenges, prizes, refreshments, and entertainment are being planned.
✨ WHO SHOULD COME?
Artists, makers, designers, founders, developers, gamers, storytellers, students, AI-curious humans — and anyone who loves to imagine, create, or play.
Come solo or with friends. Bring an idea or discover one together.
You don’t need to be a developer, designer, or experienced maker.
You just need to be willing to create.
